It’s a big change since the days of hero worship and love for Putin here on FR. Of course that was during the Obama administration and way too many FReepers thought Putin was awesome simply because he wasn’t Obama.
What if none of these men are to be worshipped?
You did not understand, then.
FReepers thought Putin was awesome in comparison to Obama.....a strong leader, looking out for his national interests vs a weak man-child that never earned anything in his life.
Then we got Trump, the US version of Putin.
